The people of Britain have been left confused over an American phenomenon known as 'Pi Day'.
The phenomenon comes about because on March the 14th '15 at 9:26:53 the date followed by the time is the exact calculation of Pi to ten decimal places.
However, that is in the American format of the date, where they place the month before the day, so in the UK the date 14/03/15 will be 3/14/15 in the US and with the correct time the calculation of Pi can be read out for a second.
But Brits have reacted in outrage, Nicole Southern said "It's those yanks again, isn't it, getting it wrong, they used to be a British Colony, did we treat them so bad that they have to do everything different from us, they're like a disgruntled teenager."
The 14th of March is a day that usually sends scientists and mathematicians into uproar as it is also Albert Einstein's birthday but with it also be Pi Day it is thought it could send them into overload, possibly giving them an orgasm, many of them for the first time.
Brian Gibbs, a Farmer from the Cotswolds said "Yeah, it's a bit silly the way they do things in America but it doesn't bother me, we'll just celebrate it on the 31st of April instead.
